Resolving Witch's Strike is one of the most chad and respectable move in Yu-Gi-Oh! Always want to play that card, if the card was Counter Trap or have more flexible activation window, it would be much better.

[@dennisclifford1572]

I feel like if it were any easier to activate it would be too good

[@mrdude88]

Same, I like the card and I like the activation condition for such a strong card, but it’s not a counter trap which bumps it down to all other trap that isn’t archetype support specific.

[@guywithglasses5309]

Can you tell me where I would find a decklist of that sounds fun tbh

[@BugCatcherSimp]

@@guywithglasses5309 Theres hardly any unfortunately. I’ve spent a lot of time creating mine and seeing how it fares up against meta decks, it works pretty well. The main staples are the shinobaron rituals, two transonic bird and two of its ritual spell cards. An impcantation line up is also needed, aswell as cards to shuffle back ritual spell cards from the GY (like jar of avarice) to create a loop of shuffling your entire opponents board. Other than that do want you want with it (I recommend trap trick and a bunch of traps)

[@bradmeyer6273]

@@guywithglasses5309 There is approximately 4 people that play Shinobirds. So there isn't a real decklist that's considered to be standard. Right now the most standard would be something like 3 each of Baron, Baroness, Transonic Bird, and Herald of the Diviner. Other than that it's been kind of whatever.

[@byronbarrientos8471]

I mean what deck do you run ? If it's not somethin with multiple effects and you're only hoping to pop it off after one card gets negated then running it is retarded.

[@lowenevvan8619]

It's the tiny detail that witch's strike triggers on "negates activation" when most negates are "negate effect" Cards like that specific Borrelsword and Appolousa are actually weak to Witch's strike, but since it's in response to negation it has to be the very last negate your opponent has or Witch's Strike pops. Because Witch's Strike is played in a new chain then it can only respond to specifically activation negates or special summon negates and not generic "negate effect" like say an Ash Blossom.

[@lowenevvan8619]

@@bigpolk4219 it's a very fun card. It's just not reliable. You typically activate the most on your own turn so it needs to be set for 2 whole turns to be most effective.

Dzeef has a good video if you wanna see some situations where it does and doesn't work

[@nelsonthen884]

If the card was easier to resolve, it'd be awesome... But it's effect only resolves when opponent negates activation, which isn't as common as normal effect negation...
